Been here about 8 months, and I still make mistakes sometimes. Thanks for telling us these honest lessons. I have learned something from what you are sharing. It's very helpful for a newbie, so pls allow me to reblog it.
In my first few days, I also pressed to follow a thousand accounts that I was not aware many of them who are whales or just following curation trails. 🙂
Thanks for the reblog, I hope it will help more newbies.
Wow!! I just looked at your follow list, it's very long!!! You may want to consider pruning it 😉
Personally, I think it makes one's account look better if you don't follow too many people. It looks very spammy. That's my two cents worth.
Thanks for the advice Pauline, I did unfollow some not active and I will spend time pruning my followers list again :))
